Auxey-Duresses Rouge
The vineyard of Auxey-Duresses, is located on the threshold of a valley which, from the Côte de Beaune, goes into the Hautes-Côtes. This red Burgundy is typically “Pinot” in finesse with red berry aromas.
Wine Production
The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted manually on arrival at the winery. All the grapes are destemmed. Cold maceration follows for 4 days at 8° to 10°C. Then, 15 days of alcoholic fermentation with regular punching down and pumping over (twice a day). Selected yeast used. Aging in 100 % Burgundian oak barrels with 25% of new ones for 9 months. After 12 months of maturing process, the wine is racked and delicately filtered for bottling.
Tasting Notes
Typical Pinot finesse, with aromas of red berries and hints of licorice. Lacy on the palate, with elegant tannins, great finesse and perfect balance.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with grilled white meats, roast chicken, pork filet mignon, stir-fried veal or rack of lamb. It will also be perfect with a fine plate of fine charcuterie and soft, creamy cheeses.
